Happy Mail: 3 Awesome Books

Last week I had a very happy mail week, because I got a few new (amazing) books. I had pre-ordered some, and others I had just been meaning to check out for a while. I spent a big part of my Sunday morning just flipping through these books. Getting inspired to cook and make things!Elsie and I are big fans of Young House Love, so we were stoked to hear they had finished their first book. Their blog is awesome, hilarious and a lot of fun. Not surprising I found so many projects I want to make for my home just after looking through their book for a few minutes. I have been on a mission to collect more cookbooks in 2012, and lucky for me some of my favorite food bloggers have had books come out this year. I have been reading Smitten Kitchen for almost four years now. I think Deb is probably the best home cook on the planet, and I love her new cookbook.When amazing recipes are paired with beautiful food photography, I get pretty excited. I am big fan of Sprouted Kitchen. And as soon as I was done thumbing through their new cookbook, I set it on my coffee table. It might not be a coffee table book, but it's certainly beautiful enough to be! So excited to try out some of their recipes.

So if you are starting in on your holiday wishlist (or have any cooks or home decor gurus to buy for), I highly recommend checking out some of these books. They've got me feeling inspired this week! xo. Emma

You two ladies inspire me to be the best blogger that I can be. I hope to one day (especially now that I am taking two of your E-courses on blogging) have a blog that is as crafty, well set up, loved by everyone, as yours is. You have something for everyone here, and I just adore that. The fact that you are so busy with so many things, yet continue to make sure there is plenty of content on this blog, too, is inspiring in itself. Thank you for having this blog. I don't know how it took me so long to come across it, but man, am I lucky/happy/glad I did! xo

Thanks for the recommendations! The photography is gorgeous too, which I think is especially important in cookbooks. Haven't heard of Young House Love, but will definitely have to check them out after seeing this sneak peek!
